“The present article is concerned with studies on magnitude estimations that strived to uncover the underlying mental representation(s) of magnitudes…. Studies involving absolute magnitude estimations differ broadly with regard to the tasks, the stimuli, and the methods of analysis. Hence, even additional studies might provide no further clarity on children’sand adults’ estimation abilities and the nature of their underlying mental representations as long as apples and pears are collected into the same basket.”
